About Polygon Pinza per capelli

Polygon è una pinza per capelli progettata per l'acconciatura di tutti i giorni. La forma e la disposizione dei denti differiscono da quelle di una pinza per capelli tradizionale, permettendo così di raccogliere una maggiore quantità di capelli. La forma e la disposizione dei denti sono protette da brevetti negli Stati Uniti e in Giappone. La collezione è realizzata in alluminio, materiale che riduce il peso rispetto alle precedenti pinze in metallo. Il corpo più leggero rimane in posizione più a lungo e riduce il fastidio causato dalle pinze pesanti. La forma è stata sviluppata con la progettazione assistita da computer e successivamente realizzata mediante stampi in gomma e fusione.
